Sunil Gavaskar, a former cricketer and commentator, continued by praising all-rounder Sikandar Raza’s performance, which helped PBKS defeat LSG in the nail-biting final over at BRSABV Ekana Stadium. The renowned cricketer claimed that the Sikandar Raza attack on Krunal Pandya with back-to-back sixes and a four in the 13th over was a very deliberate attempt to alter the momentum in favor of the visitors.
Although KL Rahul’s LSG scored 159 runs thanks to the captain’s valiant 74 off 56, it was in vain as Sikandar Raza struck with his 57 off 41 to lead Punjab to victory by two wickets.
Most of the effort for PBKS was done by the Zimbabwean, but Shahrukh Khan’s 23 points off 10 were crucial in getting the team over the finish line.
“A specific bowler may occasionally be your objective. Krunal is not a great ball-turner; on occasion, he can be predictable and will shoot the ball straight towards your pads. He had anticipated that exact scenario. He then cleared space and made two six-footers. In an interview with Star Sports, Gavaskar remarked, “It was extremely intelligent batting, a calculated assault on someone who is a very clever bowler.
Shahrukh Khan made excellent catches, including Gavaskar.
As the conversation continued, Gavaskar praised Khan’s catches in addition to his ferocious cameo. Krunal, Nicholas Pooran, and Yudhvir Singh were all caught by Khan, who displayed excellent fielding skills. With the victory, PBKS moved up to fourth place in the standings, with three wins and two defeats during the first five games of IPL 2023.
Shahrukh Khan made some excellent catches and showed off by smashing the first ball for a six. Sikandar Raza performed admirably. Don’t forget what Short accomplished with his quick knock. When Yudhvir Singh had taken two wickets and put pressure on Punjab, the way Short played some of his shots perhaps took the game away from LSG, Gavaskar continued.
